I have an Apple II emulator running on my Amiga and on my PC at work.  It
is written in 'C' and is fairly slow, however, I am getting some speed
increase by re-coding sections in assembly.  It currently runs DOS 3.3
and will soon run ProDOS.  Aux mem and 80 columns are supported.  A disk
transfer utility is used to turn 5 1/4" Apple II disks into Amiga files
that the emulator can read.

I wrote the emulator from scratch before I was aware of the similar project
talked about on the net recently.  The project has been mostly ignored for
the last six months because I can't think of a leagal means of supplying
the needed Apple II roms.  Would a program that could be run on a II to
save the ROMS to disk incurr the wrath of Apple's legal department?  I
think so.  Are there clone ROMS (Franklin, Laser, etc.) available?

If I could solve this problem I would be happy to finish the program
and make it available.  Any ideas?

PC's and tapeworms are both segmented but which is worse to have?
